I had the pleasure of photographing this Japanese inspired house for Haysom Ward Miller. The story behind it is a fascinating one, one which challenges our tendency to accept design.

We looked ahead at the forecast and dressed with loose clothing as it was what turned out to be the hottest day in UK recorded history up the road in the Cambridge Botanical Gardens at 38.7 degrees. Fortunately the Mosque provide...
